Change in Green Party leadership may unify environmental parties

Ehud Zion Waldoks of the Jerusalem Post (who has provided excellent coverage of the political-environmental scene this election season) reports that Green Party secretary-general Hadas Sachnai has petitioned against Green Party chair Peer Visner. Sachnai claims that Visner has violated the rules of the party by serving more than two 4-year terms as party chair. If Visner is successfully ousted, Sachnai says she will bring about a merger between the Green Party and the Israel Green Movement-Meimad. Alon Tal, number 3 on the Green Movement-Meimad list, is quoted as saying “We are hopeful that justice will be done in the internal Green Party court in the nick of time to unite all the green parties.” For the full article, click here.
